voted and allowed the fiscal cliff to be passed. he was with the minority and the majority if you will on the republican side. that was embarrassing for a speaker of the house. as you pointed out, he made a point of voting and advertising the vote and the speakers don't necessarily have to vote. they do so when they think there is a powerful message they want to send and he sent that powerful message. he was not about to see 98 percent per of families, people earning $450,000 a year to see taxes going up and he wanted to make that point and has been reelected speaker of the house. we will have highlights of this historic day in washington. we will take a quick break and much more of the breaking news after this. dad. listen, we're gonna go broke unless we figure out a way to divvy up this shared data plan...fairly. so, um, whoever's fathered the most children, gets the most data. let's just do it by hair. body hair? most dental work. what?
